Sharpless, who has led studies on Exploding Head Syndrome
(EHS), explained that as people fall asleep, their auditory and visual neurons
are normally inhibited. “What we think happens during EHS is that instead of
shutting down, these neurons fire all at once,” he said. “When they do, they
create a perception of sound, which is why sufferers hear the loud
noises."
